Advances in Imaging for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
Figure 4
Left atrial magnetic resonance imaging. Postprocedural imaging of the left atrium with delayed enhancement ((a, b)) and T2 weighted (c) to assess left atrial scar and oedema, respectively. The raw image is processed to obtain a 3D representation of the anatomy, with colour-coded representation, which is thought to represent scar formation and oedema. The images may help guide ablation (d). Images courtesy of Ben Knowles and Kawal Rhode, Kings College London and St. Thomas’ Hospital.
